and to her second husband, in Oct, 1864. She
was one of ten children, seven brothers and
three sisters, all of whom lived to good ripe
old age. She was pronounced Universalist,
an early member of the Uniyersalist church
of Shelby, under the pastoral care of Rev.
Geo. b. Brown and was active in it's interest
until the church was sold, her name remair-
ing ON the roll till the last. She never sought
utilization with church of any other faith:
though her own church failed and its mem
bers were scattered like sheep without sheI
herd. She was g Christian woman, homo
ing her faith and church, and respected by
all who knew her. She found Universals 81
Christianity good both to live and die b.
She leaves husband, daughter. gram

of the gospel were presented at her funeral
by Rev. O. p. Nash, of Peru, o.

course of friends. Many old people, former

ate, to the great establishment of her parents
who were advised not to report what had oc-
| Cured (Luke viii. $3.50. But the knowl-
edge of such an event could not be kept
secret. 1t was coon known in all the land.
By the Divine knowledge and power with
which he was endowed, JESUS summoned the
immortal spirit to reanimate the body from
which it had apparently withdrawn. To her
friends the child was really dead; to JESUS
she was I" alive forevermore." Her restora-
ton to life was palpable demonstration
that the departed spirit was not dead, but
alive, and continued to hear and obey the
living. The miracles of raising the dead
illustrate the truth of life and Immortality
brought to light in the gospel and may SYM
bolize the power of CHRIST and Christianity
to awaken the slumbering energies of the
soul, "dead in trespasses and in sins" to
newness of life and action.
1t is useless to attempt an explanation of
what is SO manifestly beyond our present
knowledge or even comprehension. We know
but little concerning death and its processes.
To one who knew life and death and their mys-
terious processes, and endowed with all spir-
itual knowledge and power, the laying down
and taking again of life, with restoring of
life to another, may be as comprehensive and
commonplace as sleeping and waking, or the
waking of another out of sleep, are to our pres
emit knowledge and comprehension. Those
who deny the reality of the miracles, admit
that the symbolic stories may be founded
upon real occurrences in the life and minis
try of JESUS.
JESUS may on some occasion have entered
a home of mourning, and underworld to re-
strain the violent demonstrations of grief
and to Danish the sorrow without hope, by
the consoling assurance that death was but
sleep which glorious waking would succeed.
DR.. Hookyaas, 1.-THE Bible for Learners"
Had she then not really died, but only
been sleeping? Did CHRIsT's words of double
meaning refer to literal sleep? Here then was
another Parable of twofold different bearing.
to them that understood not. In any case,
their former scOrn had been misplaced; in
any case, the Teacher of Nazareth was for
other than all the Rabbits. In what Name,
and by what Power, did he come and act?
Yet to all time has this question en-
gagged the minds of men: Was the maiden
really dead, or did she only sleep? No
one who carefully reads this history can
doubt that the Evangelists, at least, viewed
this healing as a real miracle and intended
to tell it as such.-Edersheina, "JEsUs the
Messiah
The limits between life and death, when
the life is just departed, are not to be known.
Who can tell when seeming death is real
death? And may not death itself, in its
beginning, be arrested by the same hidden
power of the soul which can conquer and dis
pei disease?-JGmes freeman Clarke, "Le-
gend of Thomas Didymus.'

but it was disobedience and ingratitude, not
withstanding.
How Jesus gave sight to blind eyes we
may not know. But in this case it was in
accordance with the measure of faith of
those who sought his healing power. Faith
in him opens blind souls to the light of Di-
vine truth and love. "He is the light of the
world" "the light that lghteth every man
that cometh into the world" "Whosoever be-
lieveth in him shall not walk in darkness,
but have the light of life."
